You’ve gotta have a can-doo attitude when choosing to live off the grid.
Heating up a meal in the microwave or oven isn’t always feasible for nonconformists, who prefer surviving on nature’s bounty to spending thousands on traditional appliances in an inflated economy.
So these solitary sweeties are letting all their food go to waste.
“We [turn] our poops into cooking gas,” boasted “cabin shed” dweller John, digitally referred to as @BelovedCabin by a TikTok viewership of more than 157,000.
Per his many commode confessionals, the doo-doo DIYer, alongside his wife Fin, sanitarily harvests their excrement via a cost- and eco-friendly apparatus known as the HomeBiogas Digester.
Biogas is a renewable energy or gas source made from organic matter.
When the pair flushes a specialized toilet installed inside of their 500-square-foot abode in rural Georgia — where they’ve lived for 12 years — the scat automatically flows to the device, transforming the dirty piles into clean energy.
“No, our burgers don’t taste like poo,” insisted John in a separate clip. “And no, our kitchen doesn’t smell like sewer.”
Instead, he claims the poop-sucking gadget masks the stench of their number twos.
John adds that the machinery came with a price tag of under $1,500 — a fraction of the cost of indoor plumbing, which would have set the woodsy couple back a whopping $18,000.
And the outré chef insists his feces fuel is better for the environment.
“We save natural resources by creating the methane biogas that we use for cooking,” began John. “[This] uses less water. And we’re able to create a nutrient-rich fertilizer.”
When he and Fin aren’t busy profiting off of their droppings, the homestead honeys are raking in the dough by renting out their humble home on Airbnb to vacationers seeking unique holiday experiences.
He and Fin are far from the only folks to shed where they eat.
Ex-pro-wrestler Goldy Locks, 44, wowed the world after revealing she uses her own poop to grow food to keep her monthly grocery bill down to a digestible $84 amid economic instability.
“The true cheapskate looks for the opportunity [to cut costs] every chance and every place that they can get,” Locks said during a guest appearance on TLC’s “Extreme Cheapskates” last year.
“You can’t quite get this compost from a hardware store; I make it from my poop.”
Kelly Wheeler, a penny-pincher from the UK, uses bowel movements from miniature horses to heat the stove at her job.
“I love to reuse and recycle. We stay warm in the office for free, and we can boil the kettle and cook on top,” Wheeler gushed. “It’s amazing!”
And while John agrees that stool food is cool, the thought of chowing down on recycled dung has left a bad taste in detractors’ mouths.
“It’s the aftertaste I’m concerned with. Especially after a long night at Taco Bell,” teased a doomsayer.
“Is this health department approved?” questioned a sickened cyber critic.
“Human poo is more toxic than animal poo — there’s a difference,” another spat.
But John seems unbothered by the mudslinging.
“When the s–t hits the fan,” he said, “we can be self-reliant.”
